Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a significant global threat. It is useful to estimate the economic burden of AMR as these represent potential cost savings from reducing the problem.

To determine the impact of antimicrobial resistance on cost attributable to bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacteriaceae from a European hospital perspective
Third-generationcephalosporin-resistance significantly increased the hazard of death (1.5 [1.0–2.2]), excess LOS (4.9 [1.1–8.7]) and cost compared to susceptible strains, whereas methicillin resistance did not
